2:06 pm
a lack of cooperation from the saudis gruesome details of what supposedly happened to jamal khashoggi after he went missing inside the consulate two weeks ago i've also emerged. that despite mounting pressure the u.s. president continues to defend saudi arabia donald trump says riyadh cannot become damned until all the facts are proven sect of state might pompei o is heading to turkey at the top of the saudi leaders he says the leadership has committed to a credible investigation and anyone responsible for children's disappearance will be accountable. now back to one of our top stories the ongoing stalemate over how the u.k. is to leave the european union some e.u. nations are already preparing for talks to fail lowers the reports now on how a no deal scenario is being viewed in the dutch port city of rostock. the dutch love to grow tomatoes the netherlands is the world's biggest exporter of the fruits. in the summer the u.k. gets really hard of all its tomatoes from here or at least it has done the
2:07 pm
assumption is that a new deal wrecks it will mean a no some are so britain are you talking on about empty shelves on the u.k. side for the price in fact. probably but there at the same time is for a. product that is not going to rio market so it has to find other nearer the new markets. the british relying just as much on rotterdam europe's biggest ports to service the demands of consumers it is a model of efficiency. freedom of movement of goods services money people is the most treasured achievements of the european union in its purest form brics it says no to all of those things but because the british government still can't decide what sort of breaks it wants the dutch it had no choice but to get into worst case scenario planning. no trade deal with the european union would mean fruits vegetables and meat having to be checked this new border to ensure it all meets
2:08 pm
hygiene standards it means the dutch employing nearly a thousand more customs officers it means queues backlogs turning away from the u.k. in seeking new markets and it isn't only about dutch tomatoes it's about goods produced across the e.u. that british people want to buy and so all the production from germany twenty five percent of the trade is coming from or is going to germany deaf to prepare as well and that is where the real challenges are doing repairing as well as water dharmas for the poverty bret's because if they are not prepared then it still stops here across western european capitals the same conversations are being had how to get a deal done when the british government is riven by dissenting views and still we don't know where we're lending our lending with a chaotic back set aren't ending within that customs union without a customs union and do we have two or three years of transition period and not sell off in the air and the basic mistake was made before the notification of the
2:09 pm
article fifty letter so you still see that british politicians are negotiating among themselves. what it should look like and that question should have been settled by now. the british government has warned the brics it could lead to food shortages those such talk is dismissed by purest breakfasters as scaremongering gradually though the e.u. is coming to the view that the u.k. may have to put up with the consequences of its lack of direction laurence li al jazeera rotterdam chinese state media has raised a video of internment camps for we get muslims in the western region of shin cheong despite international criticism the government has defended its treatment of the minority community it claims its reeducating them so they can be part of a modern civilized world up to a million we goes have reportedly been put in such camps. armenia's prime minister nicole passion has resigned to trigger parliamentary elections in december he's enjoying a wave of popularity six months after coming to power in

a peaceful revolution robin foster walker reports from the capital you're about. to fashion a card a carved armenian cross stone you need patience and time hamlet says that like a craftsman his country's new government is still learning its art. what's important is to work hard not to stray from the chosen path work towards that goal and everything will happen in time everyone including the ordinary people need to be fearful a thing. since coming to power the call passion yearns government has moved quickly against suspected corrupt officials. and it has opened parliament to the public for the first time since the country's independence they call passion and intends to break down the barriers between government and the people or. it's an indescribable unexplainable feeling i can't put it into words. people are happy
2:11 pm
they started to believe and that's very important for society that i'm there about salutes and opening the gates explains everything it needs to be open to the ward and to each other. this openness is the kind of change people can really see and experience for themselves but the big change will come if nicole passion can take control of the legislature in the parliament officially parliament is still controlled by armenia's former governing party and its allies. but when they try to vote against nicole passion yan earlier this month they learned that he still has the overwhelming support of the people. in the year of urns recent merrill election passion yearns candidate picked up more than eighty percent of the vote a snap general election will likely give his government the mandate to move forward
2:12 pm
with reforms right now it's freedom obviously there is no way back but still because the majority of the parliament are out of the old faces and it creates a lot of. insecurity it creates a lot of tension so the sooner we get rid of this tension the better it is for everybody. armenians expect last thing changes but need patience call refashioning armenia will take more than just elections it will take time for steelworker al-jazeera yerevan. the russian orthodox church is cutting ties with all other branches after a decision by the international governing body to grant ukrainian clerics independence from moscow without ruling by the istanbul based leadership ends more than three hundred years of control from moscow and follows the annexation of crimea by russian troops four years ago russian media says the spirit is one of the darkest days in the church's history. well

2:21 pm
those are the headlines the news continues here on al-jazeera after this latest searching that's watching. al-jazeera. wherever you are. turkish officials say it's going to kill. washington was going. to match one of the cloned saudi journalists we can criticize leaders their criticism has apparently left. glowing richard gaisford in europe the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're covering this week disappearances can be deceiving the hashtag she case and the news coverage and geopolitics that lie beneath it looks like news and reads like news but isn't its
2:22 pm
native advertising it took a while but the me too movement has finally reached the media in india and iran's supreme leader has a theory on why it has stopped short of his country though it is happy to share online. we begin with the disappearance of jamal khashoggi a saudi arabian journalist in exile who walked into that saudi consulate in istanbul last week and never came out the case is the subject of intense international media speculation with turkish officials theorizing she was killed inside the consulate and the saudis insisting that he came and left and it's produced a level of news coverage seldom afforded arab dissidents who just disappear that's because she was not just a dissident he was a former insider turned critic of crown prince mohammed bin salma and he had a platform at his disposal at the washington post his disappearance not only sends
2:23 pm
a chilling message to independent saudi voices everywhere it takes mohamed bin sol mon's well known intolerance for internal criticism and the house of saud utter ambivalence to the disapproval of outsiders to a new level and it provides yet more evidence of the folly of some in the western media commentary it who had bought into the image of bin psalm on as the enlightened prince the reformer our starting point this week is this down bill. because entering saudi arabia because it was a shock to seen around the world. last moments as a free man i mean he entered the istanbul consulate that day having reportedly been assured that he was not being targeted if it was a try then walked right into. damascus so he would have been a target for a myriad of reasons. not only was he a longtime insider with many contacts and also years of life in saudi arabia he was
2:24 pm
well acquainted with him one sial businessman with members of the government bureaucracy as well as the press and he was present in a lot of backroom conversations that i'm sure made a lot of people nervous he used to appear in a b.b.c. . news to be interviewed by you know you assume used to do so but it's newspapers he became like a star in terms of knowledge about saudi arabia and what what he made the last one lot of he used to be like even an advisor of the prince turki al-faisal i was actually the head of saudi intelligence and he was in buses there to the united states jim much of he was like his consultant there's different dimensions to this but they all come together and the fact that the current so the government has clamped down really hard on any kind it's not just dissent it's any kind of
2:25 pm
independent opinion that is not completely echoing the government line they don't like it and they're trying to stop it. news of jamal khashoggi his disappearance was initially greeted with silence from the saudi arabian government and the media outlets that control the story was being driven from turkey but not at the political level. the anonymous sources quoted in the turkish media the ones who reportedly described an assassination squad of fifteen saudis landing on two private jets that same day were from turkish police and intelligence by day two it had grown into a global story datelined istanbul but the turkish president was saying very little to talk which is usually not his stuff. we have to think of this as well within the context of the media profile of president our dog on who is known to speak
2:26 pm
his mind and to be very passionate when he chooses to to push certain narrative and he said it in the media interviews and interactions has been very guarded the earth about once we've been so room to walk back towards you himself from the brink when it comes to diplomatic relations with saudi arabia i don't know if he's trying to hedge himself from going toe to toe with and b.s. over this at least as of yet so it seems to me to be a little bit of a political safeguard allow this to sort of go through secondary channels through law enforcement but that's of course what he has a lot on that day three and the saudis issue their first statement saying that jamal disappearance was news to them because it's a false that he had to. what this is a little thirty get to tokyo it wasn't until day five that the first real signs of a counter narrative emerged in the saudi media space men. and them having that
2:27 pm
american out of. the state owned to be a news channel backed up by online forces offered no shortage of possible culprits none of whom happened to be south. from the lizard in the. among the theories offered that could tar which owns al-jazeera and is the target of a saudi led blockade was behind the disappeared. i know that there's you know that the guitar is may have had coconspirators from the muslim brotherhood that turkey may have been full and remember here and that the him and. and that harsh oh she's turkish fiance wasn't above suspicion i've. had with. somebody at the opposition figures or even cutty intellectuals and writers they said that she actually was just an agent of the turkish state intelligence
2:28 pm
diligence and she actually stated all this chill to distort the image of saudi arabia it lacks you know responsibility and it's lacks logic there was a very popular hash tag. which is translated like the show and twitter users where basically defending the line and accusing accusing accusing turkey and the enemies of saudi arabia of fabricating the story and they're not particularly good at it they're a little bit i'm interested and they keep doing these things spending millions and millions of dollars on public relations and advertising and propaganda and free internet stuff and they're not sophisticated in media they're not sophisticated in foreign policy they're not sophisticated and global action and when you put the
2:29 pm
three areas together their lack of sophistication is really quite embarrassing and we're seeing it played out once more. saudi attempts to hijack the online narrative on this story have proven in a fact however past charm offensive aimed at the western mainstream media know and one doesn't have to scroll back too far to see the evidence of crown prince. mohamed bin salma known as m.b.'s effectively took power less than eighteen months ago his promises of reform his decision to finally allow saudi women to drive along with a carefully choreographed media tour in the us went down while working hard. news outlets that are usually skeptical of saudi propaganda including the b.b.c. the guardian the washington post and the new york times body in producing positive stories and editorials you can still find those articles online given what has
2:30 pm
happened since and the changes that haven't happened the editors who signed off on those pieces probably wish they could take them back you really have to believe that some of it was that well thomas friedman calling the embodiment of saudi arabia's arab spring deliberately ignoring the obvious violation of these principles in the arrests of journalists in the crackdown on women activists and other liberal. over thought and now they've seen some attempts by the likes of thomas freeman to back pedal and really being reluctant to even now take a strong stand against. it's clear that the western press went overboard and promoting him as a positive force for change in the region so the the lesson of this is don't fall for the propaganda campaigns when they're presented by arab governments or any
2:31 pm
government demand facts demand proof and judge people on their actions not just their nice words and i think this is a lesson for journalists everywhere. the disappearance of jamal. resonate with journalists and all kinds of other voices from activists to dissidents to would be revolutionaries and not just in the middle east. it was not actually a threat to the government it was a voice of reason. and the government should have we talked. like he always spoke with respect about it so did us. so this. was a trick. in what to say about others but it's about silencing voices and this is not confined to saudi arabia. authoritarian governments the world over
2:32 pm
and even democratic countries countries as well make these choices and. the silencing of voices the silencing of journalists seems to be a top priority for many governments around the world from the u.s. to russia to. work. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers flo phillips flo in bold garia an investigative journalist has been found murdered what can you tell us about the case of victoria macchi nova richard she works for a small popular private bulgarian broadcast a t.v. n. her body was found last week in a park in the northeastern city of ruse and reportedly showed evidence of right it's still unclear if the murder was linked to marin over his journalistic work we do know she was presenting a current affair shows. and in the first episode they had an interview with two ball bearing reporters about very investigations into alleged fraud involving even
2:33 pm
funds linked to businessmen and politicians and how have her colleagues at t.v. reacted to this news that there's a lot of disbelief and confusion one of her colleagues has said that we're in shock in no way under any form never have we received any threats aimed at her or the television channel he added that he and others at the network now really fear for their safety in the past year two other reporters both known for their work on corruption have been killed in the maltese journalist daphne carnegie let's see who was killed by a car bomb exactly a year ago while slovak jenna's young cruciate and his fiance were both shot dead in their home back in february ok moving on it's been more than a year but the need to movement has finally reached india both the entertainment industry and the news industry what kind of allegations have been made against him this seems to have been sparked by women in the entertainment industry.
